Is 'looooooooooove' ironic?
I've used p4 for several years, and even though I now basically only use git, I still think it's one of the best thought-of and implemented SCM systems out there [disclaimer: never used bitkeeper].
It's simple, elegant, compact and well performing in any scenario. You don't need a "perforce from the group up" tutorial to understand how it works. p4v is awesome for history navigation: no git frontent comes even close.
Shallow repositories somehow mitigate git issues for large repositories, even though it isn't convenient. Over time I came to appreciate some advanced manipulation commands in git so I don't think I'll ever switch back, but I hope Perforce will continue to go strong, as it's a very solid product.
- yo-code-sucks 11y agoYeah, fuck simplicity, let's clobber and merge every fucking thing.
- maximilianburke 11y agoNo, not ironic or sarcastic at all! It really is wonderful. We're starting to scale up our edge/commit server network in order to have teams iterate on 100+GB repositories across five+ locations in North America and Europe and it mostly just works.
